Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The expression on lymphocytes of P-glycoprotein, an efflux transporter encoded by the ABCB1 gene, might influence cyclosporine intracellular concentration. METHODS: ABCB1 genotypes, cyclosporine intracellular and blood concentrations were determined in 64 stable renal, liver or lung transplant recipients. RESULTS: Cyclosporine intracellular concentration correlated moderately with blood concentration...
